I always thought he wasted his talent through not being prepared to knuckle down fitness-wise.
With his SLA he should have been a regular in the England squads.
Similarly Ravi Bopara who is back to scoring runs, could/should have been in the oneday England squads if not the Test side.
I can't help but feel they've both rather squandered their undoubted talent.
Kyle Abbott again showing what a good Kolpak addition he's been for Hampshire.
Local boy George Bailey doing well too.

The best case we can really hope for is two more draws in the other matches. Not convinced Lancs or Warks have what it takes to hold on though. Essex still going at an average run rate despite being 140 overs into their innings with the current partnership nearing 200.

I wouldn't be surprised if Stoneman got the nod for England, with Jennings at three as in this match. I still have a hunch Moeen will move up to five with Rashid coming in as the primary spinner. That would of course mean no place for Ballance.
